An early start today as we enter the world famous Kruger National Park, driving in an open-top game viewing vehicle with a lodge ranger for a morning of game viewing in this vast 2-million hectare game sanctuary that is the size of Wales (packed breakfast included).
The Kruger National Park offers magnificent game viewing opportunities and the highest concentration of lion in the whole of Africa. With nearly 150 different species of mammals and over 100 species of reptiles, you can hope to see cheetah, giraffe, hippo, kudu, crocodiles, sable antelope, waterbuck, warthogs, baboons, wild dogs and many other interesting animals as well as the Big Five - lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard and rhino. Outstanding bird watching is also guaranteed, with over 500 different species including eagles, kingfishers, vultures and storks.
We return to our lodge for lunch (own account) before returning to the Kruger National Park for another afternoon of game viewing in our closed touring vehicle. Alternatively you can book another optional open top game drive (pay locally). Dinner is included this evening.
Note: You will need your passport to enter the Kruger National Park.
There is also the option (for own account and subject to availability) to learn more about the Kruger Park’s Anti-Poaching Dog Unit. This specialist unit trains dogs to track poachers in the field, detect firearms, ammunition and wildlife products that enter and exit through the park gates. A portion of the fee for this MAKE TRAVEL MATTER experience goes towards ensuring that these dogs receive the best possible care in support of the vital work they do.
